Rams WR Puka Nacua could miss 5-7 weeks with his PCL injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Schefter: "The Rams want to make sure they're careful with Nacua and not rush him back. The team wants to do whatever is needed to ensure there are no more setbacks to the injury that Nacua initially suffered early in training camp."
Nacua is out at least the next four games on IR. The Rams then have a Week 6 bye. So Nacua could be sidelined for five weeks but only miss four games.
As Schefter notes, though, the Rams now believe Nacua's status for Weeks 7 and 8 "could be in jeopardy."
We'll continue to track Nacua's rehab and timeline for return. He's still worth keeping stashed outside of the shallowest of fantasy leagues. If Nacua can put these knee troubles behind him, he could still be a fantasy WR1 over the second half of the season.
